Monday Night Game in New Orleans

I’m from out of town, I know nothing. But I have to tell my stories. We were in town for the Saints/Eagles game, and I think Chicago played at Seattle the next day. Wanted to do some touristy shopping, stopped in at some joint on Decatur Street, had a nice sandwich and a drink at the bar. The kitchen staff had the Bears/Seahawks game on in the back, couldn’t hear or see it but I could see them checking it. My wife goes “This is interesting, they all look like pirates”. Wife beaters, facial hair, tattoos, earrings, bandanas on the heads. One comes out and growls at me, “Well, we’re going to Chicago.” I thought Oh hell, do the Saints even have any cold weather gear? Anyway, I don’t know the name of that place.

The joint on the corner of Girod and Carondelet St is just nuts on game day, you’ll probably have to stand in the street. But everybody seems to have a good time.

I watched the Saints-Eagles playoff game at Tuckers Bar and Grill on 869 Magazine St. in the Warehouse District (about 10 blocks from the Superdome). The bar is wide open (which is hard to find in New Orleans), has many tv’s, pool, great food, and reasonably priced drinks. I had a good time there and would definitely recommend it as a good place to watch the game. Best of luck to ya, but geaux black n gold!!
